Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Carefully walking among the trees, Hermione and Severus stopped to take in their surroundings. The forest was quite creepy to say the least. In some parts you could hardly see your hand in front of your face. In other parts the sunshine streamed through the high branches.
After taking time to observe things Severus commented that, “It’s not that bad.” Upon seeing the look Hermione was giving him Severus quickly added, “Well it’s not like I want to build a summer home here, but the trees are actually quite lovely.”
They had taken a few steps ahead then stopped when they heard a popping noise. When the noise stopped they started walking again when a ‘foom’ type sound happened. With the sound came a burst of fire. Being the closest to it Hermione’s dress was soon ablaze.
Severus was promptly making Hermione sit down as he worked to extinguish the flame. When he was done he helped her up the questioned if she was singed at all. She shook her head no, then asked the same of him. He claimed he was fine. They were again walking when they heard the popping noise again. Severus quickly moved Hermione away just barely before the flame shot up. “The forbidden Forest certainly keeps you on your toes.”, Severusmentmented.
------------------
Severus was walking ahead of Hermione cutting away the foliage that was in their way with his sword. He was telling her about what he did when he was away.
“This will all soon be but a happy memory because Voldemort’s ship Deatheate anc anchored at the far end and I as you know am Voldemort.” Severus said.
“But how is that possible since he’s been marauding twenty years and you only left me five years ago.”
“I myself am often surprised by life’s little quirks.”, he paused to lift Hermione away from another flame spurt. “What I told you before about saying please was true. It intrigued Voldemort as did my description of your beauty. Finally Voldemort decided something. He said, “All right, Severus, I’ve never had a valet. You can try it for tonight. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” three years he said that. “Goodnight, Severus, good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.”
“It was a fine time for me. I was learning to fence, fight, anything anyone would teach me. And Voldemort and I eventually became friends and then it happened.” Severus paused again.
“What? Go on.”, encouraged Hermione.
“Voldemort had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. So he took me to his cabin and he told me his secret.”. Severus oicked up Hermione and carried her a bit. ““I’m not the Dread Pirate Voldemort,” he said. “My name is Pettigrew. I inherited the ship from the previous Dread Pirate Voldemort, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real Dread Pirate Voldemort, either. His name was Lucius. The real Voldemort has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Patagonia.””
“Then he explained the name was the important thing for ispiring the necessary fear. You see no one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Severus. So we sailed ashore, took on an entirely different crew. And he stayed aboard for awhile as first mate all the time calling me Voldemort. Once the crew believed, he left the ship and I have been Voldemort ever since. But now that we’re together I shall retire and hand the name over to someone else. Is everything clear to you?” ended Severus.
Hermione nodded that she understood. Turning, she took a few steps forward and fell into some lightning sand. Severus acting quickly, took hold of a hanging vine then promptly dove head first into where Hermione fell. A few seconds later a spider the size of a small dog came crawling around where Severus had just stood. It did something that seemed like it was sniffing the ground, then scuttled away.
What seemed like ages later Severus emerged from the sand trap with Hermione clinging to him. Both were coughing up sand and gasping for air. They crawled away from the hole, then sat and held each other. Facing the other way, Hermione didn’t see the huge spiders Severus was looking at.
“We’ll never succeed.”, Hermione said. “We may as well die here.”
Turning to look back at her face, Severus said, “No, we have already succeed.” getting to his feet and bringing Hermione up with him he continued. “I mean, what are the three dangers of the Forbidden Forest? One, the flame spurt. No problem. There’s a popping sound preceding each. We can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand. But you were clever enough to discover what that looks like so in the future, we can avoid that, too.”
“Severus, what about the S.O.U.S’s?”
“Spiders of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.”
Right then one of the huge spiders in question leaped at Severus, making him tumble backwards and fall to the ground. It sank it’s fangs into Severus’s arm as he tried to fight it off. The pain was tremendous but Severus worked through it trying to kill the spider. At one point Severus’s sword was knocked out of his reach.
Severus was trying to reach his sword but couldn’t with the spider on top of him. He managed to knock it off him even by a little so he could reach his sword. The now angry spider had pounced back on Severus biting now onto his shoulder. This time he managed to knock the spider onto it’s back. Just before he could reach his sword Severus heard Hermione scream. He turned to see the spider making its way over to her. Scrambling Severus managed to grab a hold of one of the spiders legs, pulling it off and therefore infuriating the spider more.
The spider went after Severgaingain and was about to do some major damage when Severus was suddenly rolling to the source of a popping sound. Reaching the flame spurt just in time Severus succeeded in catching the thing on fire. Getting up Severus went to get his sword. Returning to the spider roceroceeded to stab to a few times to make sure it was very much dead.
Hermione rushed over to Severus putting one of his arms around her she began to walk with him as quickly as possible to get away from the spider and from the forest. A few hours later they found themselves out of the Forbidden Forest and in an area with lovely trees. It being fall most of thenge,nge, yellow, and red leaves littered the ground making the scene even more beautiful.
Hermione turned to Severus. “We did it!”, she said.
“Now was that so terrible?”, he asked.
They were leaning in to kiss each other when some men on horses appeared.
“Surrender!” ordered Prince Malfoy.
“You mean you wish to surrender to me?” queried Severus. “Very well. I accept.”
“I give you full mafor for bravery. Don’t make yourself a fool.”
“But how will you capture us? We know the secrets of the Forbidden Forest. We can live there quite happily for some time so whenever you feel like dying, feel free to visit.”
Hermione looked around and saw guards pointing crossbows at Severus.
“I tell you once again, surrender!”
“It will not happen.”
“For the last time, Surrender!” repeated Malfoy.
“Death first!” declared Severus.
“Will you promise not to hurt him?” asked Hermione.
“What was that?” questioned Severus and Malfoy together.
“If we surrender and I return with you will you promise not to hurt this man?”
“May I live a thousand years and never hunt again.” replied Malfoy.
“He is a sailor on the pirate ship Deatheater. Promise to return him to his ship.”
“I swear it will it done.” Malfoy’s guards then came over to Severus and tied his hands behind his back.
--------------------
Speaking only to so Count Goyle could hear him, Malfoy said, “Once we’re out of sight, take to Florin and throw him in the Pit of Despair.”.
“I swear it will be done.” replied Goyle.
--------------
Hermione was talking to Severus. “I thought you were dead once, and it almost destroyed me. I couldn’t bear if you died again…not when I could save you.”
Severus looked as though he just had his heart ripped when Hermione said that. He watched as Prince Malfoy came by on his horse sweeping Hermione into his arms on the way by. Count Goyle brought him back to the present.
“Come, sir. We must get you to your ship.”
Severus walked over to stand in front of the count and he spoke to him.
“We are men of action. Lies do not become us.”
“Well spoken, sir.”
Severus looked at Goyle and noticed something. Goyle seeing Severus stare asked. “What is it?”.
“You have six fingers on your right hand. Someone was looking for you.” came Severus’s response before Goyle knocked him out with the hilt of his sword.
